Basically I want to read some REALLY GOOD short stories and recognize some people for writing REALLY GOOD short stories and I wanted to have my own contest.
A few things you should know (unofficial rules):
-- I don't like fantasy or sci fi. I'll read them, but I get so bored with them, so if you want to write something like that then you'll most likely be at a disadvantage
-- Erotica...not a lot. Too much makes me feel uncomfortable, but you can have some as long as its tasteful
-- Make it snappy. I get bored so easy so you might want to keep it under 2500 words.
-- Lesbians...I am one, your story will interest me more if there is something about them in your story. You don't have to, but I'm just saying
-- Original ideas score higher on my scale then plot, so be original, but make stuff make sense
-- Prewrites...must ask my permission.
That's about it. I'm going to add more points when I get them. I'll try to read all the stories and comment them the best I can.

Prewrite?
I have a prewrite about a lesbian couple getting married and some of the complications with it. I think you will like it.

I have a pre-write, too; it's a re-union story. It's about a guy accidentally meeting her ex-girlfriend, but it's not that simple as it sounds.
'Levon and Kelly' is the name. -
Permission for pre-write?? Funny stuff...

it sounds stupid
I know. But I don't want a thousand million prewrites, especially if they've already one other contests and stuff like that. My contest, my rules lol.
